Arrabe kept the name of Ancient Jewish town that was ruined in the revolt against the Romans, later to become a Christian village in the Byzantine era.
According to local tradition, the village exist for 3,000 years and it is called in Arabic Alla Rabiah (Above an Hill). There is a small (2%) Christian minority in this Moslem village.
Photo of the flag at <study.haifa.ac.il/~tsoliman> is different from the image in the position of the English inscription.
